I Want My People to Be Remembered

An intimate and political journey through Donna Gottschalk's personal archives—photographs, contact sheets, audio cassettes, letters, diaries. Based on interviews conducted by Hélène and previously unpublished documents, the film traces the lives of Donna and some of her loved ones. The voices of Donna, her sister Myla, and friends like Jill intertwine, composing a choral and fragmentary narrative, where the intimate meets collective history. The film recreates an era—that of a generation of queer women who were committed, precarious, and often invisible.
